Problem with keyboard control

Hi everyone! I have a problem in Contra-like games. When I’m shooting in the left top and right bottom a fire doesn’t run. I checked all versions for Windows and Batocera linux that uses RetroArch and it’s the same. I haven’t tried any controller only a keyboard. A Core doesn’t matter. On my phone with android ererything is great. Please give me some advice.

This is usually a result of what’s known as “ghosting” or “rollover”. Most keyboards can only handle combinations of certain keys (sometimes as few as 2 keys at a time). You can go here and see if that’s what’s going on: http://www.iljitsch.com/2020/keyboardtest/
